Low-Budget Chromaggus Mage Deck (Heroic Mode)

Table of Contents

This deck can be used to defeat Chromaggus on Heroic Mode. It is based around
the Tempo Mage archetype and relies on Sorcerer's Apprentice to make
Chromaggus' Brood Affliction cards cheaper in your hand, allowing you
to discard them more efficiently.

3. Strategy

Although this deck is a strong choice for defeating Chromaggus, it does rely
on a strong start. You will need to mulligan aggressively for Mad Scientist
and Sorcerer's Apprentice in order to gain an advantage in the early turns.
Mad Scientist will Deathrattle into a Secret, that will either allow you to copy
a powerful minion, usually a 4-drop, or will block one of his expensive spells
like Swipe or Bite. Sorcerer's Apprentice is used to discount
the cost of the Brood Affliction cards in your hand, and allow you to start
discarding them earlier than you normally can in other decks.

Once you have been able to achieve this strong start, the fight becomes more
straightforward. The key to defeating the boss is correctly managing the
Brood Affliction cards that you are given at the start of each turn, and
identifying which ones you should prioritise discarding first. As a general
rule, the card that does damage to you, and the card that heals Chromaggus are
unimportant, and can be ignored for several turns. The cards that modify the
costs of Chromaggus' minions and spells, however, are far more important, and
should be discarded immediately.

Once the game reaches the point where you are able to get Kel'Thuzad into
play, your victory is almost assured, since the enemy AI plays very poorly against this card.
You can simply use your minions to trade with his on each turn, and develop an
overwhelming board which he will never remove.
